We don't know if a certain this speech was ever delivered actually. All we have is the testimony of a clergyman 35 years later who wrote it up. We can compare it to the words of Emily and Pankhurst, the laws that men have made. She embraces the fact that women need laws for women. It's not about being male, it's about laws coming to meet women. And Elizabeth was a good writer herself, we know that. So it accords with what we do know about her literary capacities but we're not certain that those words would live quite like that.
